Outstanding Bearings and Service
I watched several reviews about Gillian knife bearings and I heard nothing but great things. When I purchased a ZT 0562Ti I wanted to swap the bearings for smoother action. I contacted Mr. Gillian and he wrote back promptly explaining they were out of stock. I thought "oh well, I will check back at a later date." What happened next has set a new bar for customer service. Mr. Gillian sent me a personal email stating he had produced some bearings and invited me try them in my ZT. That level of customer contact and service is not what one sees these days. I purchased a set of bearings and they are simply outstanding. I applaud Mr. Gillian not only for his wonderful products but for his dedication to personalized customer service. Thank you Gillian Knife Bearings.

Excellent Upgrade
These bearings are an excellent upgrade over the stock bearings. Knife is more snappy / faster. Highly recommend Gillian bearings.

Salt 'N' Pepper in my ZT 0562ti
I have had aftermarket bearings from other makers and they are not as good as Gillian bearings. High quality, well made and super smooth action on all of the knives I have Gillian bearings in. Do recommend 100%

Salt and pepper KVT bearing replacement
Ordered my replacement bearings for my ZT 0562CF. Took a week to get to me. Immediately installed them. They're great bearings. Very well made. Seems the blade deployment is a little slower, but action is very smooth. I flipped my knife a 100 times to break in the bearings. I didn't notice a huge difference. The bearings seem to have corrected the blade centering a bit somehow. Will swap back in old ones to confirm whether I'm crazy or not. All-in-all, very happy with the bearings and plan to try out their other bearings for a couple of my other knives. Thanks, Chris! Great job on your product.

KVT Replacement Bearings
Great upgrade over the stock polymer caged bearings. Great action and real smooth when they break in.
